I don’t like to ask for myself, but I could use a prayer if you have a spare.

I’m going to Piedmont Hospital in the morning for a nuclear stress test. I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure in 2002, after having a severe heart attack. Been mostly holding my own over the last 17 years and I have lasted longer than my cardiologist expected (he says I’m one of his best success stories). But last week I started having a real problem with being short of breath. Went to see him last Thursday, ekg looked ok but chest x-Ray showed some fluid in my lungs so back to the hospital for another stress test. My doctor said it is more as a precaution but that the heart failure could be progressing. Hopefully they will not find any heart problems but you never know. I’ve been through several of these stress tests over the years so I’m familiar with the procedure but there is always a chance of a heart attack during one. An extra prayer or two would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Mike

Never had a heart attack thankfully but do have 4 stints and had a stroke in '16.
I do Nuke Stress tests every 18 months. Good stuff and you've got a good doc & facility.

I’ve had several stress tests. Usually 18-24 months but this time it’s been just over a year since my last one. What worries me is how quick this shortness of breath came on with no warning. I hadn’t been doing anything stressful or exerting my self too hard, just driving home from the shop Monday afternoon.
